Although I too am eager for Oreo, given a choice between right and fast, I prefer that devs get it right.

The devs seem to have gotten Oreo right on the ZenFone 4 (ZE554KL). In particular, I’m pleased to see that, upon upgrade to Oreo, the ZenFone 4 kernel was upgraded to kernel 4.4.x, which is an "extended LTS" release kernel, and the ZenFone 4 recieved support for Project Treble.

I hope that the devs do as good of a job with Oreo on the ZenFone 4 Max (ZC554KL) as they did with the Oreo on the ZenFone 4. In particular, I hope that the ZenFone 4 Max will receive kernel 4.4.x and support for Project Treble. And I’m willing to wait a bit for the devs to get it right.
